LIHI cottage development aimed at people exiting homelessness

The Low Income Housing Institute recently completed Sand Point Cottage Community, a 22-unit cottage development in Seattle's Magnuson Park neighborhood. The development will cater to people exiting homelessness.

The project, which cost $5.2 million to construct, sits on about 2 acres of city-owned land at 6343 NE 65th St. The cost works out to over $263,000 per unit.

The city is leasing the site to LIHI, a nonprofit housing provider, for $1 a year, provided the land is used for affordable housing.

Sand Point Cottage Community is expected to house 36 residents, including individuals, families, veterans, people with disabilities and senior citizens.

1. I've heard of studies that claim just housing people on the public dime...

would be cheaper than dealing with and cleaning up after the homeless the way we do now.
